The USC Trojans are facing the possibility of needing to reload once this upcoming season ends. 

It's highly likely both Boogie Ellis and Isaiah Collier will be headed to the NBA. Senior transfer D.J. Rodman will be graduating, and the Trojans will be left with some real holes at the guard/wing spot.

As of September 10th, the Trojans have one commitment in the 2024 class: four-star guard Liam Campbell out of Meridian, Idaho. Looking to impact the class further, the staff has its eyes set on Naas Cunningham: 

According to basketball guru Adam Zagoria, 2024 swingman Naas Cunningham recently took a trip to USC. 

The 6-foot-7, 180-pound wing is ranked No. 31 nationally for his class by 247Sports. Cunningham is originally from New Jersey. However, he is currently playing at Southern California Academy -- an academic institution less than an hour from USC's campus. 

According to 247Sports, Cunningham has 19 reported offers. Some of them come from the likes of Arkansas, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Florida State, Kentucky, St. John's, and West Virginia. 

You can see why Cunningham is considered to be one of the better wing prospects in the class of 2024. He's got effortless bounce and shows some real explosion when attacking the rim. 

There's also a fluidity to his game which is quite apparent when on the offensive end of the floor. USC will need some scoring next year based on what's likely to happen, and one can envision a scenario in which Cunningham comes in and impacts right away.
